Are you thinking of getting a Russian Bride? Years ago, before the internet revolution, this was all the rage. Now you can meet women from all around the world easily online. But if you are trying to find a traditional Russian woman, these tips may be useful for you.

The first letter is important. This is where you introduce you. You should list things honestly, such as your name, age, body style, employment, family, and personality. Let your bride know who you are on a deeper level- list your goals, how you view the world, what you are looking for in a relationship, and so on. Russian culture does not use words such as “babe”, “sweetie”, or “dear” when they first meet, as it comes off as over emotional. Just speak naturally.

The things you should discuss are critical. Feel free to ask her what she wants in a relationship, where she sees herself in the future, and other questions that will let her know you have her interests and personal affairs in mind. This will put her more at ease. The most important thing to ask is how long she wants the long distance correspondence to last. You can benefit greatly from prolonged distance, as it gives you more time to get to know each other before you first meet, which may sweeten the deal. However, Russian women tend to like men of action, and may want to meet sooner rather than later. Don’t worry about all these things, just ask the questions, as it is completely normal to want to know the answers before meeting.

Back to the initial meeting- find out when and where you want to meet. If she travels to your country, you’ll feel more in charge, more confident, and more comfortable, but she may feel out of place and confused. If you meet in her country, she’ll feel more open and will show you her true self- plus you get to travel to Russia! However, the best option may be meeting in a third country, so that both of you are in the same place and the level of comfort is equal.

There are several factors about the life of a woman in Russia that you may want to keep in mind. Years of war and communism, higher percentages of females than males, and a traditional passive lifestyle for women will all play into the idea of a woman making sacrifices and pursuing this lifestyle with you. Russian women are very devoted to their husbands, though, and they know when they pick the right man. They marry for love, and they stick by their husbands side. This devotion shows through selflessness and a willingness to put other personal endeavors on hold to satisfy her husband.

If you find the right woman, you will have a real winner as a wife. A Russian wife will hold her children, husband, family, and home above her career, and will tend to make a long-lasting wife. Divorce isn’t anywhere nearly as common in Russia as it is in the United States, because a Russian woman also views her husband as her best friend.
